The Kiss
This photo is, to me, the quintessential depiction of contemporary society at the time it was taken. World War II had just ended and the US and the world was celebrating. This shows the pure joy that everyone felt upon the return of the soldiers who…
New York Tenements
Jacob Riis' How the Other Half Lives was one of the first works of photojournalism. His photography revealed the horrible conditions of New York tenements. This photo illustrates the cramped, dirty condition of a New York tenement. I chose this photo…
